wxWidgets and memory
hey!
i was just wondering about wxWidgets, i've started reading tuts etc and ive noticed that most of the apps included leak memory... i was wondering if theres any steps to go through to avoid memory leaks... thanks! oh, is there a way i can explicitly code the main function rather than use the IMPLEMENT_APP macro, ive though about looking at the macro decls, but it sounds like a pain! |

You can explicitly code everything that wxWidgets does for you. Most people use it to avoid doing that.

Thanks DaWei!
Ah well thats cool... i've always hated macro stuff! Well, with regard to the memory leaks, I guess what I could do is store pointers to all wx elements I allocate on the heap, and delete those myself... But im not sure what wxWidgets does with its objects - whether it frees the heap objects when destroyed, or whether i must do it by hand... Still looking through the docs... I actually like the library, much simpler than windows API... But GUI programming overall, not a fan!  |

Oh, forgot, you can download the book "Cross-platform programming with wxWidgets" for free....

Yeah, but buying an entire application, GUI and all, means you don't have to do ANY programming in ANY language. Can't beat that for easy.

hey man!
ive actually started learning java for htat exact reason... the cross-platform is the best thing about java i feel... maybe a little slower, but much faster to write apps... java is a nice language! still need to get more familiar with the syntax.... |

Well, you ask a question in the C++ forum, a guy recommends Java. I just thought it would be as helpful to you for me to recommend doing nothing at all.
